Actually, there is an admin interface built into django.
You can get it running by simply adding django.contrib.admin to your
settings.py INSTALLED_APPS variable and reading through the comments
of your urls.py and uncommenting the corresponding lines.
Still, by default this admin is not extremely useful as your own
models are not present yet. (If I'm not mistaken this is what
scaffolding is good for.) In this sense there is no scaffolding
present, but there is scaffolding with a "small twist".
So to get your own models show up in the admin you should write some
admin.py files as described at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/admin/
You can have a very powerful admin site generate by wrinting a simple
admin.py file. I think this would be the django equivalent of
scaffolding.
If you would like to customize a given generated page even more, there
is some (still valid and) useful information in the djangobook
